Datagrove's Network Model

We build websites, platforms and apps for clients and stay responsible for the result from start to finish. Behind that runs a network we have built up over the years: developers, designers and entrepreneurs who join each project where their expertise is needed.

Challenge

AskTippi puts your network to work: post a question, attach a reward and let it travel through contacts to the right person. The platform was already running on web, but a network product belongs natively on your phone, with push notifications and a share flow that works in seconds.

Approach

A native app built with Expo and React Native on the existing Cloudflare backend. Sign in with Apple, Google or SMS, a feed with questions and rewards, safe tipping and payouts in the app, and a share flow to WhatsApp that keeps the chain going.

Outcome

The app is live in the App Store and keeps evolving in the same rhythm as the platform: short lines, fast releases, a steady developer who knows the product.

What we hear often

We start where it goes wrong.

Clients usually come to us after something went wrong somewhere else. These are the situations we run into most, and how we turn them around.

A long road before you see anything that works

The classic agency route runs in months, not weeks. You only find out late whether it's right, and by then the market has moved on.

The same project in weeks

AI takes the repetitive work off the table so senior developers can spend their time on the calls that matter. You see what's added every week. Same quality, a fraction of the time and cost.

All the knowledge sat with one person, and they left

Without handover or documentation, everything stalls the moment that one person drops out.

One senior who stays accountable

With us, one senior is the fixed point of contact for the whole project. The network around them flexes per phase, but the architecture and final responsibility stay in one place. There's never a gap.

Built cheap, paid for it later

Building cheap sounds appealing, until you hit quality no one dares to touch anymore. Whatever you saved goes back into rebuilding.

Architecture and review in-house

We work with offshore developers too, but we keep architecture and code review in-house. One senior makes the calls that matter, so the quality holds up no matter where someone sits.

The off-the-shelf tool stopped growing with you

Standard tools get you a long way, until you need the one thing the package can't handle. Then you're stuck with a system that won't follow your business.

We build exactly the piece that's missing

We build the missing part separately and connect it to what's already running, or replace it where that's smarter. Not everything from scratch, just what needs to change.
